Feature Requests

As the project moves toward a beta and the eventual 1.0 we'll be focusing on pulling in bug fixes and feature pull requests will be recorded here for future consideration/inclusion.

Format

• Feature identification - github user handle - description

Collapsible sets

• On a collapsible set with content long enough to require scrolling, when you click another collapsible header, it expands in-place, where it should scroll to the top of the new content. Example: in iOS, I have a collapsible set with several headers and each one is a little lengthy. When I scroll to the bottom of one and expand the next section, instead of the browser scrolling up to start at the beginning of the expanded content, the scroll position stays put and I see the middle of the new content. - zephster

Swipeup and Swipedown events

• Swipeup and Swipedown - VTWoods

icon (css sprites)

• telephone icon for css sprites - phillpafford

header/footer

• setting to allow you to specify that you always want the header and footer - @csaunders

buttons

• button-free style for toolbars - toddparker
• button styled as collapsible - timtucker

controlGroup

• refresh control groups - stomlinson - refresh allows for alteration with js while maintaining the styling
• header and footer support - dcousineau - support for control groups in the headers and footers.

core

• $.mobile.autoInitialize - toreym - defer page initialization until invoked

• $.mobile.loadingMessage - phillpafford - Ability to change Loading Message programmably

• Add version check and exception for jQuery version - umbrae

• Ability to enhance a subset of HTML automatically sdhull and arsduo

• Modal loading message, prevent interaction with page - SamuelKC

form elements (general)

• Consider creating a more compact form style like the iOS preferences panel. Many people have tried to add form elements to listviews to accomplish this effect but that causes a lot of issue because lists are only intended for link list navigation and can really cause formatting and click/tap issues with form elements.

• Input onchange ajax submission - kurteknikk

• Need for html text as value in form - kurteknikk

navbar

• [ Add submenu for data-role="navbar"] (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/1582) -Sumeruter
• [ Add support for "pageable" navbar buttons/links ] (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/1677) - begmandev

listview

• data-role=subpage - medovob - allow arbitrary nested content in list views

• animations - grandecomplex - add animations to listviews

• Touch-drag to re-order lists - dlaidlaw

• Nested lists behave like accordions - stoneface

• Expandable tree-like style for nested lists - mojoaxel - for displaying nested lists not on sub pages, but on one single page by dropping down/inserting the sub elements below the parent list element

• aside element in place of class - mohearn - asides are denoted by the class ul-li-aside where as use of the new element introduced in html5 would be nice.

• bubble counts and other formatting in nested lists - mymajors-com - seemed like one of the best uses for the bubble counts to show how many items would appear next in each section of a nested list.

• Customize the filtering algorithm - project707 - Allow for listview filtering options like the ability to skip or group/wildcard match on special characters. Wouldn't hurt to provide programmatic ways to override the current filtering algorithm completely.

• make listview refresh method update existing LIs too Note that this pull does not fix this issue entirely, but it introduced the request.

• Filter by term - project707 - rather than filtering once on a single string per <li> there should be an option to filter based on terms within the string (eliminating the need for full matches or exact order). This is easy enough to accomplish, but it might be best as an optional functionality due to increased overhead.

text input
